Which province, Fujian or Guangdong, has a large number of immigrants in history?

There is a folk saying in Fujian, "Taiwan Province people are afraid of Pingtan people, Japanese people are afraid of Fuqing people, British people are afraid of Lianjiang people, Americans are afraid of Changle people, and the whole world is afraid of Fujian people." Since the 1990s, Fujian Changle people who immigrated illegally or through relatives in the United States have concentrated in Chinatown in New York after successfully landing.

Lu Shengxin, deputy director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of Fujian Province, who recently led a delegation to visit the United States, said that the total number of overseas Chinese living in Chinese mainland exceeded 30 million, including10.8 million in Fujian, surpassing Guangdong for the first time and becoming the largest hometown of overseas Chinese in China. Lu Shengxin said that according to Chinese mainland's census figures this year, the total number of overseas Chinese in Fujian Province accounts for about one third of the whole mainland, surpassing Guangdong Province, the original largest hometown of overseas Chinese. It can be said that one out of every three people in Fujian lives overseas. Fujian's gross national product ranks 1 1 in the country, but the average output value of individuals can squeeze into the top six, and the contribution of overseas Chinese is indispensable.

Now, Fujian immigrants have surpassed Guangdong immigrants and become the largest group of Chinese immigrants in new york. For example, new york, as the largest and most prosperous city in the United States, has a population of 8.5 million and more than 500,000 Chinese, most of whom are from Fujian, and Changle is the absolute majority. According to the new york immigrant population report released by Queens Public Library in new york, it is conservatively estimated that at least 200,000 Changle people live in new york. An almost exaggerated fact is that 90% of Chinese take-out shops in new york are run by Fujian people, and there are at least 5,000. These nearly 400,000 Fujian immigrants have changed New York Chinatown from one to four.
